WELCOME TO
MUCH HADHAM PRE SCHOOL

OUR APPROACH

At our pre-school the qualified members of staff support the children in their play by providing opportunities to explore and investigate.

We challenge the individual to promote their independence, social skills, thinking and own initiated play.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework in an all-inclusive, fun, safe and enabling environment.

We have a large garden with regular Forest School lessons.

We have grown our very own strawberries 🍓 to have for our snack today… delicious 😋

☀️welcome back, we hope you all had a lovely half term. To coax the sun out next week, we are learning and looking at the seaside 🏖️

Today the children have been making potions using different plants and flowers. They have used their senses to smell the flowers and herbs and touched them to feel the different textures of the leaves.

🌸'I'm making a magic potion.' 'This will look beautiful in my garden.' 🌸

They have cut, poured, mixed, and sprayed to make lots of wonderful potions 🍃🌿
